Sign Up for Absentee Ballots!

Even if you decide to vote in person during early voting or on election day at your polling place, you may still request an absentee ballot.  It will be mailed to you WELL in advance of the election.  While we all know about the BIG ONES in 2020 (the primary in March and the all important General in November), there are some important state questions and local measures coming up. Getting that ballot in the mail reminds you that YOU PERSONALLY have something to vote on in the upcoming election, and it gives you the opportunity to review it carefully so that you are an INFORMED voter.

Even if you received absentee ballots in 2019, you MUST REAPPLY for the 2020 year.

CLICK THIS LINK to go to the Oklahoma Voter Portal. You will start here to complete any of these tasks:

- Request an Absentee Ballot
- Change your political affiliation
- Change your residence address
- Change your mailing address

Complete the FIRST PAGE to find your voter record. Be sure to check the box at the top, and after filling in the required fields, check the two boxes to affirm you are a citizen/resident and are/will be 18 years old by the next election. Then click FIND ME.

The SECOND PAGE loads your current voter information. Once reviewing it, select the Voter Services you would like to perform. In this case, we are only applying for an Absentee Ballot as the address for this voter is not changing.

READ THIS NEXT SECTION CAREFULLY! For some voters with special circumstances, you may be eligible for an absentee ballot that does not require to be notarized by a notary public, but rather witnessed by two non-related adults, making it more convenient for those confined to home. Uniformed Services Members, their spouses, dependents or U.S. Citizens living outside the country will be routed to a different form.

Note: This image is based on “All other voters.” You may have different questions or fields on your form if you are applying for an absentee ballot for those with special circumstances.

ALMOST DONE!!! Review the summary, and, if necessary, click EDIT to make any changes. If it’s all correct, move on to the Oath and Signature section, CLICK THE CHECK BOXES, insert your full name in the window, and then check the reCAPTCHA box (so it's a green check). If you wait too long, you will have to check the reCAPTCHA box again (it will expire after about a minute).

And FINALLY ... CLICK THE SUBMIT BUTTON!!! It's in the lower right portion of your screen. Your application will not be complete until you SUBMIT it!  Remember, if you let your screen sit too long, the reCAPTCHA box will need to be clicked again.

And you're done!! You'll never miss another election again, because you will get the reminder in the mail. Complete it, have it notarized (at your bank, at a tag agency, at some UPS stores, or by someone you know who is a notary public), mail it in by the deadline, and know that you have done your civic duty! Or, just use it to research the candidates or state questions, then vote in person! You will complete a form swearing that you have not used your absentee ballot to vote and are not attempting to vote twice.
